Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bookbinding system using the Internet, which enables a user to edit information at the time of bookbinding in accordance with information required by a user. About technology. 2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional so-called private publishing technique, an applicant, i. A so-called private publishing technique by Com. And two inventors Richard Kay Tam exists as a known example. The outline of this system is as follows. A copyright owner or a homepage administrator displays a plurality of information contents on a Web, and a user (customer) who browses the Web views the information contents to partially display two or more information contents. Alternatively, the method includes a method of purchasing a book in combination as a whole, and binding and publishing one or more forms of the book. [0004] However, this method has the following problems. [0005] In other words, depending on the information disclosure when browsing two or more pieces of information, the user is not satisfied with the purchase, thereby being sufficiently satisfied. As a result, there is a possibility that the bookbinding will not eventually lead to purchase. On the other hand, if information disclosure is restricted to overcome this problem, the advantage of selling books on the Web is lost compared to the point that existing publications can be freely viewed at bookstores or the like. [0006] Further, from the viewpoint of bookbinding technology, it is extremely costly to publish a book by performing bookbinding for each individual. [0007] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide:
In a bookbinding system having input means from a user using the Internet and input / output means from an administrator, a means for storing input information from a user in a database stored in a computer; Means for inputting content information of the Internet, and means for determining a field to which the user belongs based on the input information, and editing and binding a plurality of pieces of content information from the database for each field. To provide a system that was An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with the following text. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an electronic commerce system 100 centered on a bookbinding system according to the present invention. In this bookbinding system, attributes are determined according to input means 1 on the user side, input / output means 2 on the administrator side, software 3 for selecting advertisement insertion, and input information from the user and attribute information from the database. Software 4 for selecting attribute information to be performed, typesetting software 5 for creating a different typesetting for each selected attribute information, bookbinding system A, bookbinding system B, bookbinding system C, D for binding a typesetting created for each attribute information , E .., and bookbinding system X. The input means 1 on the user side can be executed in a format in a language such as CGI or the like that operates on the server side from the user's PC. This format includes, as initial settings, personal information such as a user's name, address, and company name, as well as the number of pages of a distributed publication, contract information by security technology, and the like. In addition, this format includes keywords related to content that you want to give priority to delivery (eg, Internet, security, competitors, personal names), business scope keywords (eg, manufacturing, project leader, capital, registration information),
In addition, it is possible to input selection information (company, specialty field, name) of a commentator commenting on the content. These pieces of input information can be selected based on a plurality of pieces of information on the home page of the electronic commerce system 100. The initial setting can be changed at any time in response to a change in the situation of the user. Also, the keywords input by the user can be prioritized. Next, the input / output means 2 on the manager side will be described in detail. The input / output means 2 on the manager side includes a database 2A which is installed on a computer on the manager side and can be linked to the computer, and an input means based on information contents registered in the database. Search engine 2B for searching for the number of matching keywords for each user by searching for the input information keywords input by the user, and management software 2 for managing typesetting software, answers to content from commentators, and the like.
C. The database 2A stores all information contents accumulated within a certain period of time, for example, one week. In addition to the storage for each period, the information can be stored for each information content for each region, such as Tokyo and Osaka, and each country. The database 2A stores information contents in a file format in which security is protected in response to an input from the management software by an administrator. The file format includes an extensible markup language (XML),
Markup language (HTML) for writing hypertext, PDF (portable document)
ent format) and various processor file formats can be used. Here, the "information content" is not limited to sentences such as characters, images, drawings, etc., but also includes, for example, audio and moving images. For example, in order for a commentator to evaluate specific information content, audio information content can be attached to the specific information content and stored in a database. Next, the search engine 2B is software for searching for a keyword of a plurality of attribute groups and a high matching index for each keyword input by the user at the time of initial setting. For example, when the keyword of the attribute group A is Internet, venture, security, and the attribute group B is company X of venture, bio, security, and the specific user includes the keyword venture, internet, RSA, etc.,
It is searched that A is the best as the attribute group. Even if the keywords do not completely match, if the keywords are partial matches, the software can be programmed so that the search engine 2B considers them as partial matches. Next, the management software 2C will be described. The management software 2C has a function of managing information content input from the administrator, a function of attaching or combining the information content of the commentator with the specified information content, a function of confirming final information from the typesetting software, It has the function of automatically or manually determining whether to incorporate an advertisement into information content. Next, the advertisement insertion selection software 3 will be described. The selection software 3 automatically sorts the advertisement-related information contents into a plurality of attribute groups from the keywords of the advertisement-related information contents stored in the database 2A, and then, through the attribute information selection software 4, By returning the sorted data to the management software 2C, the management software 2C can determine whether the combination of the final advertisement-related information content and the information content in the attribute group is optimal. . This operation is characterized in that it is completely automated by the attribute information selection software 4. However, after the advertisement insertion selection software 3 creates the attribute group candidate list data, it is directly sent to the candidate list. The data may be returned to the management software 2C to manually distribute the advertising-related information content into the information content in the attribute group. Next, a typesetting is created using the typesetting software 5 for each attribute group determined as described above. At this stage, for example, “Adobe PD”
By using a system such as "F Transit" that can order a printing company directly on the Internet and can efficiently bind a small number of copies, it is possible to efficiently perform typesetting work for each attribute group. is there. At the stage when the final typesetting for each attribute group is completed, the typesetting software 5, for example, PDF
Thus, data can be sent to the management software 2C, and the finish can be confirmed on the management software 2C. Thereafter, when an order approval is sent to the printing company on the management software via the typesetting software 5, the typesetting software sends the plurality of typesetting patterns A, B, and C to the printing company through an information system such as the Internet or wireless communication.
... X is ordered and bookbinding is performed. Since the typesetting pattern is an independent file, it is obvious that a plurality of printing companies can be used. By adopting the above-described bookbinding system using the Internet, copyright management,
It is possible to easily perform bookbinding according to the user's desire at regular intervals such as weekly without customizing (individualizing) information distribution and advertisement distribution. On the bookbinding side, copyright management, information distribution, and advertisement distribution are formatted by attribute group.
Labor saving can be achieved as compared with the case of performing individually. With the bookbinding system according to the present invention,
The user can browse information content customized for each field as bookbinding information without sending the purchase order data to the manager every time. In addition, the administrator can edit the book according to the information desired by the user every time and reduce the burden of bookbinding. These bookbinding systems are particularly suitable for media whose information content to be managed changes in real time every week.
It is possible to coordinate a private book that publishes information according to the user's desire while reducing the burden of editing.
